A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and sharply tapered hairlines against weighty, sculpted stems. The serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with calligraphic joins and occasional ball terminals that add a lively, engraved feel. Counters are relatively generous for the weight, and the rhythm alternates between tight hairline connections and broad, glossy-looking main strokes. Capitals feel stately and slightly condensed in their internal space, while lowercase shows more movement with curled terminals and energetic curves.
Best suited to headlines and short-form editorial typography where its contrast and italic energy can be appreciated. It also fits branding and packaging that aims for a premium, fashion-forward or classic-luxury impression, and works well for pull quotes, covers, and elegant event materials.
The font conveys a polished, high-fashion tone with theatrical contrast and a confident, old-world elegance. Its italic momentum and sharp transitions create a sense of speed and sophistication, suited to expressive, attention-seeking typography rather than quiet neutrality.
Designed to deliver a refined, high-contrast italic serif voice that feels both traditional and contemporary, using dramatic thick–thin modulation and stylized terminals to create instant hierarchy and a premium editorial presence.
The numerals and lowercase include several distinctive, curving terminals that read as display-oriented details, especially in letters like a, g, y, and z. At larger sizes the hairlines and sharp notches become a key part of the personality, while at smaller sizes those delicate connections may require careful sizing and spacing to maintain clarity.
